Paul Mampilly asks investors to focus on Tesla and not Elon Musk

Paul Mampilly, one of the top investors in the United States, believes that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is a victim of fame getting in the head. Since May, Tesla stock has been losing value. Why? Elon Musk outbursts in the media have affected it. He failed to answer questions about the company’s profitability well. His outbursts, however, have nothing to do with Tesla according to Paul Mampilly. He believes the biggest danger to Tesla is the manner in which Elon Musk is handling criticism. Despite his outburst, the company is still one of the best in the world. It is leading in the electric automobile industry and storage of affordable energy and solar energy.

Paul Mampilly agrees that Tesla is going to perform very well in the future, but attention needs to be on the company and not the Elon Musk. Tesla is expected to release the third quarter data and expectations are that it will release promising figures. Mampilly argues that such results will show that despite Elon’s outbursts, the company is still performing well. Mampilly adds that there is no reason to make investors run away from Tesla since the company is bigger than Elon. The data will be promising and will reinstate investors’ the confidence in the company.
